Move from Left to Right

English and other languages originating from Europe read left to right. That means that those people
naturally move their eyes from left to right when reading.

They prefer to absorb information in the same manner.

When you speak before an audience you can use that principle
to enhance the acceptance of your message.

First you must realize that it’s the audience’s perception
of left to right and not your on-stage left to right that counts. It’s not what
you thought you said. It’s what they thought you said that is important.

How can you use this principle in your presentation?

Timeline

Ask these folks to draw a timeline of a project and they
will likely draw it from left to right. The left represents the beginning while
the right represents the end or the future.

Here’s how to move while presenting about your project or
proposal. Talk about the past while standing on the extreme left side of the
stage (your right). Stand in the middle of the stage when talking about the
present and move to the far right of the audience when describing the desired
future.

You could also simply gesture to your right when talking
about the past and to your left when talking about the future.

Progress

Use the same methods to place problems in the past and
solutions in the future.

This is not natural so you will need to rehearse these
movements. But the audience will be more willing to accept your ideas when they
can SEE progress.
